Speed Limit Policy
The City of Vaughan is implementing a comprehensive Speed Limit Policy across the city to ensure the safety of all road users and address the growing population.
As part of the City’s MoveSmart Mobility Management Strategy, the policy will be used as a speed management tool to set and adjust appropriate speed limits throughout Vaughan's street network.
